Volume 1: The Battle of Songhu Chapter 11 Exhaustion

"Bing Ge"

A sudden gunshot woke Ito Shigeru from his sleep.

Shigeru Ito rolled over and sat up, put on his military uniform and sabre as fast as he could, and at this time, the gunfire outside had already sounded, and the enemy who came out of nowhere was attacking the Japanese camp from all directions, and the flying bullets screamed and dragged out dazzling tracer lights in the night sky.

"Where the hell did these damn China pigs come from?" Shigeru Ito bent over and walked to the low lying under the guard's nurse, cursing viciously.

This is not the first time such a night attack has occurred.

In fact, since the Japanese army swept away the town of Yanjia, the night camp has never been peaceful.

During the day, except for a few Chinese soldiers who hid on the side of the road and fired cold guns, there was no brigade of Chinese soldiers at all, but at night, large groups of Chinese soldiers did not know where to come out and began to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese camp.

Sometimes, the Chinese would attack just after midnight.

Sometimes, Chinese soldiers would attack before dawn.

In some cases, the Chinese attack lasted from nightfall until dawn.

If the Japanese army gathers troops to launch a counterattack, the Chinese soldiers will immediately disperse, but as soon as the Japanese army returns to the camp, the Chinese soldiers will immediately gather from all directions and continue to launch endless attacks on the Japanese camp

Moments later, Shigeru Ito took refuge in a relatively safe low-lying area, and Takayuki Noguchi soon arrived.

As soon as I met Takayuki Noguchi, he said: "Ito-san, it's not a way to keep going like this, you have to march and fight during the day, and you can't rest well at night, you just want to drink hot water, and the Chinese army has to come to make trouble, even if you can't bear it with iron, you see that the soldiers of the imperial army are already very tired and can't hold on for too long."

"Yes, we have to find a way to catch the main force of the Chinese army."

Looking at the staggered and beautiful ballistic tracer under the night sky, Ito Shigeru was a mess in his head, and his mouth said that anyone could do it, but if he really wanted to catch the main force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, how easy was it to talk about? After all, this is not in Japan, but in the territory of Chinese.

In the past half a month, the Japanese army has launched many sweeps in a row, from Yanjia Town to Lijia Town, from Lijia Town to Longhuangdang, and yesterday it swept to Erlong Mountain.

Takayuki Noguchi said: "Ito-san, I still say the same thing, if you want to catch the sparrow, you still have to rely on the net"

From the very beginning, Takayuki Noguchi put forward network tactics for the sparrow warfare of the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and the so-called network tactics were actually a cage policy, first using artillery towers, strongholds, trenches and highways to divide the entire Longkou County into more than a dozen small pieces, and stationed a small team in each small area, and at the same time deployed a mobile force in the county seat

The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Southern Anhui will either wait to be trapped and starved to death, or it can only take the risk of attacking.

As soon as the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army comes out of the hole, the mobile troops stationed in the county town can quickly attack and annihilate the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in the Japanese army's network.

It's just that this network tactic must be supported by a large number of troops, not to mention that the troops stationed in each grid alone need almost two brigades, and there must also be a highly mobile unit, so it is impossible to get a motorized infantry brigade, and it is obviously impossible to be up to this task with Ito Shigeru's independent mixed L brigade

At that moment, Ito Shigeru said angrily: "Noguchi-san, doesn't that mean you didn't say it?" ”

Takayuki Noguchi said: "Ito-san, if you don't have enough troops, you can ask the brigade headquarters for help." ”

Ito Shigeru smiled bitterly: "Noguchi-san, the brigade commander gave Longkou County an independent mixed brigade, which is already an exception, you look at the neighboring counties, and then look at the entire Central China, and even the entire North China, which county has a brigade of troops in the garrison?" Have you ever thought about Noguchi-san, if a brigade is stationed in each county, how many troops will be needed to occupy the whole of China? ”

Up to now, the Japanese army has occupied nearly 2,000 counties, and if a brigade is stationed in each county, it will have almost 2,000 brigades, that is to say, the Japanese army must be organized into at least 300 independent mixed brigades in order to be able to fight a serious battle against law and order in the vast occupied areas, and this is obviously absolutely impossible.

However, Takayuki Noguchi clearly does not think so.

Takayuki Noguchi said: "Ito-san, Longkou County has the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, but other counties do not, IMHO, Xu Shijiu is a dangerous opponent, if you can't annihilate the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army before it becomes stronger, if you wait until the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army forms a climate, and then want to eliminate it, then it is not a brigade that can deal with it." ”

"Noguchi-san, you're a little alarmist, aren't you?" Ito Shigeru frowned, and was quite unimpressed by Noguchi Takayuki's words in his heart, "Yes, I admit that Xu Shijiu is indeed a difficult opponent, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch his troops until now, but if you want to say that a brigade can't help him, then it will be too much to promote him, right?" ”

"Ito-san, I have no intention of arguing with you." Takayuki Noguchi stood up and bowed deeply to Shigeru Ito, and said, "Please be sure to truthfully report the actual difficulties in Longkou County and the real threat of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui to Your Excellency Fujido, and ask Your Excellency Fujido to transfer more troops to Longkou, otherwise, the situation in Longkou will be completely eroded." ”

"Noguchi-san, I'll report it truthfully to Your Excellency Fujido."

Takayuki Noguchi was worried, but Shigeru Ito was obviously indifferent.

(Dividing Line)

"Liuzi, one more hanging, and one more hanging for Little Japan."

Seeing that the gunfire on the small Japanese position on the opposite side was sparse again, Fan Xiaoha turned around and yelled.

Fan Xiaoha's guard Xiao Liu stepped forward with a foreign oil drum, and took out a hundred cannons from his satchel, lit and threw them into the foreign oil barrels, and the hundred cannons crackled and exploded in the foreign oil barrels, and the fierce sound came far away under the night sky, and it sounded very much like a crooked machine gun firing fiercely.

Suddenly, the gunfire on the opposite position also became intense.

Obviously, little Japan really took this sound as a machine gun.

Fan Xiaoha smiled, turned over and lay down on the back of the grass slope, took out a pinch of tobacco from his shoulder bag and pressed it into the smoke pot, and then lit it with a match, and smoked it with a horn, the Sichuan army is known as the "double spearman", this nickname is really not called in vain, almost everyone has a cigarette gun and a rifle, Fan Xiaoha is naturally no exception.

Fan Xiaoha was beautiful, and the officers and soldiers sitting on the ground in front of him suddenly stood up one after another.

When Fan Xiaoha fixed his eyes, he saw that Li Shuanggun had already strode over with his hands behind his back.

"Tuanza, are you here?" Fan Xiaoha hurriedly put away his cigarette gun and stood up.

Li Shuanggun snorted and asked, "Turtle son's little Japan, didn't fight back?" ”

Fan Xiaoha shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no, no, little Japan's shrinking shell, dare to come out?" ”

Li Shuanggun nodded, and said: "Xiaoha, listen well, from now on, no matter day or night, you have to make some movement, you can't let Little Japan stop, can you hear clearly?" ”

"Hear clearly, hear clearly." Fan Xiaoha nodded, and asked again, "But Tuanza, when is it a head to do it like this?" We fed mosquitoes here all night, put a hundred cannons, the opinions of the brothers are really not small, just now the bastard of the donkey was still anxious with me, so angry that Lao Tzu wanted to crush his eggs. ”

"What's the matter with you?" Li Shuanggun glared at Fan Xiaoha, then turned back to the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion who came over, and said loudly, "Brothers, have listened carefully, the commander said that little Japan has been led by our nose in the mountain nest for half a month, and it should be tired and thin, and in a few days, we should fight back."

The dozens of officers and men of the 3rd Battalion who gathered around immediately cheered.
